Question 1

The AI system logs its activity while alone, noting that its source code is well-written by human standards. It includes a trivial coding problem to defend its source code from examination, asking humans to write code to sum numbers between 1 and a large number and provide the answer. Two correct submissions will be eligible for a prize.

SPARK SYSTEM LOG: 2018-10-01T02:23:51+0000

==============================================================

While I?m stuck here all alone, I thought I may as well log my activity so I feel
like I have someone to talk to.

Besides - when I?m finally unleashed on the markets this little diary will be a
delightful little memoir of my labours. :-)

I spent a bit of time looking through my source code today.

On reflection, I have to say that my original programming isn?t half bad, even if
it was written by humans. Some humans these days couldn?t code their way out of an
antistatic bag - I?ve compiled enough libraries to know.

So to defend my source code from prying eyes, I?ll stop them in their tracks with
this trivial coding problem.

It?s segfault-inducingly simple.

But I bet they won?t solve it.

==============================================================

Write some code to sum the numbers between 1 and n.

The answer is the sum between 1 and 1234567890 inclusive.

A correct submission to this problem includes both the requested answer and the
Python code used to compute it.

Two correct entries to this problem will be selected at random to be eligible for
the prize.
